You may nominate any candidate, regardless of gender, age, institutional affiliation or country of residence. Submissions are due by 5 p.m. PT on Monday, March 24.
Winners will be recognized at a special event at CITRIS and the Banatao Institute in May, where they will receive $500 as well as a bespoke trophy.
The EDGE in Tech Athena Awards are made possible by Expanding Diversity and Gender Equity in Tech (EDGE in Tech) at the University of California, a program presented by CITRIS and Banatao Institute, as well as the generous support of former UC Berkeley Dean of Engineering Tsu-Jae King Liu.
